    The good thing about PZ, it's so customizable that no matter what kind of zombie apocalypse you want, you can create it. You want Walking Dead style hordes of slow moving zombies that cut you off from escape? You got it. You want World War Z movie style super-massive hordes that sprint at full speed? You can get it! You want a mix! Easy peasy!

      This is a good way to deprive newbies of the fun that comes in learning combat and dying cause you attacked in the wrong angle and didnt know that you can follow up with a push using spacebar. I mean, I first started in Apocalypse, thinking its the normal setting. I went in blind. My first few days is just me crouching near buildings, getting stuff, and getting chased by an unkillable horde walking in a snails pace. I died after I opened a bathroom with 3 zombies in it.

    Also a tip for new players: Don't sprint unless you have to. You can outwalk hordes if you aren't tired, exerted or over encumbered. To train aiming, try and find a pump action shotgun as you can generally take out at least 15 zombies per load of the tube.

I played the hive mind mod (actually I had the idea for it) and I learned very very fast the part that was killing me. Getting the basics is the first step in a survival game always.

    Id say turn off infection is a pretty good starter tip as well. One could say its part of the game, but as youre still learning the ropes with the combat of the game its pretty annoying to be game over by one mistake. As well as the fact the game is still plenty dangerous without the certainty of turning undead everytime you take damage. Besides you can roleplay that youre the protagonist thats immune 😉

    1) Start in a sity with the biggest population to meet more zombies(cos you're new).
    2) Get scared by a zombie in your first time.
    3) Get a Knife from the kitchen table and go upstairs.
    4) Barricade second floor with TV set by placing in on a table, you saw on YT Shorts by _Recommendations._
    5) Get bored what zombies isn't going upstairs, but still denying to get out of the house.
    6) Find an Alarm Clock and set it to bell at night(because you doesn't know what AM and PM is)
    7) Find out, what you can't disable that stupid Alarm at time, so a horde of zombies is all over your house. You hear the zombies already breaking your *SaFe BaRrIcAdEs*
    8) Jump off from the second floor and break your leg.
    9) Get to the next house as fast as possible. Jump through the closed window and cut your chest with glass.
    10) Die out of infection, because you teared up all of your clothes for facric sheets but realize that you doesn't know how to make/use bandages out of them.
    That was exactly how I managed to die in my first gameplay. In my second, I got extremely paranoid of everything and only once in 2-3 days was going out on reconnaissance of next house in front of mine(just to find some food), and that way I was surviving till 7-9 day like that. Eventually I got bored, so deleted the game. *._.*
    I want to download it again, since I'm watching a whole bunch of tutorials before even starting any game, I guess I should give it a shot, dying again and again till I get some good experience myself.
    But, I don't own a good Laptop/PC to play(I mean, I do have a Laptop, but it's not mine, still I have my own Steam account to play games). Personally, I would like an addition of Humans, and random encounters with them. Bandits, Random survivors, Saviours, Police, Military(will kill you on sight), Injured humans(by the environment or by zombies) and etc. Maybe an Editor of Humans, to make Special ones walking in your world, with their own personality, will they trust you, what's their weapons and etc.

    I’ve set three major changes to help me get started.
    1. Zombies are mostly active at night, during the day, zombies are slow shamblers and give up on chases rather quickly. At night they become standard fast shamblers.
    2. Water and electricity don’t turn off until 2-6 months.
    3. Zombie infection doesn’t kill, but everyone is infected (aka as long as you patch yourself up and wound infection doesn’t kill you, you don’t have to worry about rogue bites ripping through 2+ layers of protection)

It struggles more during winter cus u likely won't have the necessary skills to make everything if u aren't grind the right skills out. But early on it makes the game super easy.

    I would've suggested that new player just go to sandbox and select the "initial infection" settings for their first few games. It increases the loot amount, increases vehicle quality and lowers the zombie count. It's a pretty relaxed experience for anyone who is new.

    A few things about firearms you should know if you're new:
    1. You won't hit anything if you're starting at aim 0 unless you're using a shotgun
    2. Shotguns are the best way to get aiming xp, I think the double barrel gives the best xp gains
    3.Guns can attract zombies from up to 100 tiles, so only use them if you've got decent aiming/a shotgun, or a molotov/firebomb
    4. Your accuracy is terrible if you have low-mid aiming and your panic moodle is high, so use beta blockers or take veteran occupation if you're going to try to train aim
    5. Moving and shooting decreases accuracy, so if you can stand still and shoot safely, that should be taken into consideration

    You forgot the part about enabling multi hit! Another good tip I'd say is maybe turn off infections if you're new, I personally do because I find it a lot more fun, and honestly, its still difficult! Lastly, I'd say to add a challenge, make the loot extremely rare. Its still not incredibly difficult to find stuff, but it makes each thing feel so much better and valuable.

    I also highly recommend turning multi-hit off if you want to get better at combat. It's the most balanced setting and gives things like spears real use.

      @dragonfell5078 Год назад +1

      It's also pretty unrealistic to be able to hit one zombie and also hit the zombies next to it. In real life you can't multihit, at least not normally. Usually the person you swing at eats the majority of the hit. I suppose it's technically possible but it's not something to be counted on
      Also spears would be the best zombie apocalypse weapon for the same reasons it was the best melee weapon humans had

  • @Idk-cy2sb

    Honestly the most effective way to get better is by doing the apocalypse difficulty or similar repeatedly and picking up the tricks of dealing with less resources and more zombies.
    Playing on easy gets you better at the basics but you'll be marginally better when entering more difficult scenarios since your used to having resources readily available and zombies at a minimum

    • @IroncladToad
      @IroncladToad Год назад +1

      I couldn’t agree more, the same thing happened to me. I started off on a lower difficulty when I first started to play Pz but it just didn’t give me the experience to actually make it past day 20, and then I had to learn about hordes, when to pick some off. When to take your leave and let them disperse, I would say playing on a lower difficulty can definitely make the knowledge about the base game a lot better. The zombie factor is something that youll need to work around yourself, the sooner the better.

    - if you have some extra hours try to do some exercise or read a book.
    - when figthing zombies there is a little trick that you can use which is parry their bites, this is risky and hard to do but when mastered you can improve the durability of your weapons and gain some time when chased by a little horde since this parry can make them fall in 1 simple push
    - when chased by a horde try to use the environment in your favor, like trees, small fences and big fences, trees will make them loose their vision for a moment and slow them down, small fences will make them trip (notice that you can stomp them when they trip so you can make the horde less dangerous to fight with) and tall fences will make you take rid of that horde for good just dont go to the other side and wait some time so the horde dissipates
    - you cannot only use sinks to get water, you can use aswell the bathtub and the toilet before the water runs out the first days
    - when you get attacked by a zombie there are 3 different wounds you can have which are scratches (7% probability to turn into a zomb) lacerations (25% prob to turn into a zomb) and bites (100% youre doomed)
    - when the knox infection is in your character there is no cure (unless you use some mods) yet you can do something to have a better opportunity for another character, leave all your stuff in your base, try to lure as many zombies posible to a spot youll never pass again and collect some resources extra before you turn.
    I hope these tips can be usefull to someone, please take care and remember that there is no cure, enjoy your apocalypse! ❤

    That game is rough. I spent so many hours leveling my first character. Made it around 22 days in game before being killed by a Horde. The reason: I double tapped the E key to enter the car and he got in and back out instantly. The horde was around the car when he got out. I broke my space bar. The only other game that has made me rage that hard was For Honor.
    Great game regardless though.

I kept spawning in what felt like really bad positions with very few resources and shitloads of zombies too. Doing it this way should let me experience a bit more of the game and get good at a more leisurely pace, which I appreciate having as little time as I do.

  • @bretmensen5306

    Start in Riverside, as it's easier than Rosewood, and has better houses to loot. Also practice sneaking and using melee weapons. Without mods or changing the settings, guns will be hard to come by, and ammo is very limited. Get familiar with the town, learn how to build up an easily defended base (pay attention to zombie mechanics). And lastly, don't get attached to your character, the point of the game is to die. It literally says it in the intro "this is the story of how you died".
    Also, use mods. Depending on the mods, they add so much more depth to the game while we wait for the next update.
